Yeah. But I get cold at the slightest drop in temperature. Other people come to my house and are too hot :p

I can get warm adding layers. Until he's been and had his fur cut down he's kind of stuck with the all over woolly blanket.

Do you have central heating, like a thermostat controlling the temperature to a preset choice, or a couple of heat sources that you control manually?

Tommy used to work on the docks
knees have been on strike
He's laid on his back... it's tough, so tough
Gina worked the diner all day
Now working’s all done, she brings home no pay
For love - for love

She says we've got to hold on to what we've got
Cause there’s a line for the bathroom
And our bladders are shot
We've got arthritis and that's a lot
For pain - well give it a shot


Whooah, over half way there
Livin on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
Livin on a prayer

Tommy's got his sixth crown in top
Now he's holding in what he uses
To make it talk - so tough, it's tough
Gina dreams of running again
When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers but he’s got his teeth out

We've got to hold on to what we've got
Cause there’s a line for the bathroom
And our bladders are shot
We've got arthritis and that's a lot
For pain - well give it a shot

I thought I'd been given a really butch haircut.
It looked like a real buzzcut by the time I took my hat off (you can't count what it looks like leaving the salon because that just doesn't count unless you are a hairdresser yourself).

Having put on skin make-up, eyeliner & mascara, I'm happy with the look.
It will wash and wear well and it won't need cutting again for ages.

Cost £28, which is a lot for me, so it wasn't just my vanity that hurt yesterday.
Still not sure it was worth the price, but I'm less genocidal today.

No can do.
No cameras in this house any more; Dad "tidied" them away.

How can you say that? You know that's not true.

Just over it to be honest glatt. Thats all i can really say. I am sick of competing with fish for my husbands attention, and hes passing on his selfishness to his son. I feel like he got what he wanted from me, so now its time for me to fuck off.

Ali - Don't you dare talk about being off dead. You are so sweet and pretty to even jest about something like that. You did something very, very special for me. You will always be special to me

Oh! You'll enjoy it

A couple of caveats though:

Firstly, the first two episodes were originally intended as a single episode but broadened out into a two parter. The original pilot was supposed to follow the events of the first few pages of the graphic novel, more or less to the letter. They then decided to draw out some of the subplots and allow a longer character progression - some people found the first two episodes dragged a little (not me, I loved them!), so don't judge the pace of the series on those first two eps.

Secondly, the character of the show shifts around the mid point of the first series. For the first few episodes, there's good story and characters, but the zombies are much more prominent. As the show progresses, the balance changes and the zombies become less prominent compared to the character drama. The first few episodes paint the danger - then they become the threat against which a deep and character driven drama plays out.

I have a list of phrases I must never use again.
Words I can't help, we all have our own verbal ticks.

But I have claimed my haircut is too butch over and over again.
STOPPIT.
I wear no make-up when I go to have my hair cut. I don't wear much anyway, but what I do wear is susceptible to the sloshy-sloshy-washy-washy of the hairdresser's basin.
I also wait to colour my hair until after I've had it cut, especially since I had most of the colour cut off before I went to Amsterdam.
I get my hair cut as short as possible so I don't have to pay to get it cut again too soon.

If I equate a short cut with looking butch (which in all honesty I don't have the features for) then it's my own silly fault.

That is all.

Oh well, the new Social Group I set up using the anonymous account didn't get any hits over Christmas. I thought it could be a place for former dwellars who left this past year to post without drawing a lot of attention to themselves in the forums. Perhaps the Social Groups venue has become too obscure; or, perhaps there was no interest in visiting anyway. I'll leave the anonymous Group up until New Year's Day on the outside chance one of them gets plastered enough to visit their old haunt. Maybe they'll see this post and find the safe house set up for them in Social Groups.
